Arizona Morning

I am so fortunate to live in southern Arizona and to be able to begin my days as I do.  The crisp autumn air invites me to my patio to experience the predawn moments, and even on days when there are few clouds I enjoy views like these.

I settle in with my coffee and listen to the cacophony of sounds from the 'awakening' birds and take in all of that with which Mother Nature surrounds me.  It's not as much as some, but it's what I  am blessed with, so I will enjoy it during my Arizona morning.
